The reading of the Scriptures with godly fear; the sound preaching, & conscionable hearing of the word, in obedience unto God, with understanding, faith, & reverence; singing of psalms with grace in the heart; as also the due administration & worthy receiving of the sacraments instituted by Christ; are all parts of the ordinary religious worship of God... (Westminster Confession of Faith 21:5, 1647).

It is the duty of Christians to praise God publickly, by the singing of psalms together in the congregation, & also privately in the family. (The Directory for the Publick Worship of God; Agreed Upon by the Assembly of Divines at Westminster... as a Part of the Covenanted Uniformity in Religion... with an Act of the General Assembly, & Act of Parliament, Both in Anno 1645 Approving & Establishing the Said Directory).

The duties required in the 2nd commandment are, the receiving, observing, & keeping pure & entire, all such religious worship & ordinances as God hath instituted in his word... also the… opposing, all false worship; &, according to each one's place & calling, removing it, & all monuments of idolatry. (Westminster Larger Catechism, Ans. 108, 1648).
